Jules Renard

Jules Renard was born on 22 February 1864 at Châlons-du-Maine, in Mayenne, and grew up at Chitry-les-Mines, in Nièvre, in a family where he knew little tenderness. Having come to Paris, he wrote for the newspapers and frequented literary circles. He married Marie Morneau on 28 April 1888 and kept a diary that was published only after his death. Elected mayor of Chitry in 1904, then a member of the Académie Goncourt in 1907, he died in Paris on 22 May 1910.
